Etymology

From Proto-Italic *araō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éryeti (“to plough”), from the root *h₂erh₃-. The root-final laryngeal was lost in the Proto-Indo-European verb, but was restored in Proto-Italic.

Cognates include Ancient Greek ἀρόω (aróō), Old Church Slavonic орати (orati), Lithuanian arti, and Old English erian (archaic English ear).

Pronunciation

Verb

arō (present infinitive arāre, perfect active arāvī, supine arātum); first conjugation

  1. I plough, till; cultivate land, farm; acquire by tillage.
  2. (of age) I draw furrows over the body, wrinkle.
